General product information : The Solic 200 is an automatic power controller for heaters. It accurately tracks all available surplus power generated by photovoltaic, wind or water powered generators, ensuring all of the green energy produced is fully utilised. Note : The maximum power/current is dependent on the rating of the external load, which is up to a maximum of 3 Kw. The recorded measurements in the appended table are for a unit with no load attached.
